Played 12/9/24 11:10 time slot. What a perfect day on a perfect course. I have played this course many times and it seldom disappoints. On this day the course was in prime condition.
Not much roll on the fairways, but man were they a treat to hit from. Perfect emerald green lies every time. Green were in very good to great shape. A little on the slow side, but rolled well and held well struck shots. Chips were tougher to stop. Traps a little thin, but still in great and consistent shape. Cart service was fantastic with multiple drive byes. The layout of this course is just FUN. Generous off the tee, with fun and sometimes challenging approach shots if you're on the wrong side. If you're planning a trip to the Valley, book a day here !!

Played 10/16/23 Played in a industry tournament. 12 pm shot gun. The round took 5.5 hrs
The course was in pristine shape. I've played the course a handful of times over the years and I have neve seen it this good. The fairways were lush, emerald green and perfect. Ball sat perfectly like on a tee. In the past the greens have always been on the hard, fast & thin side. On this day they were lush and soft. Balls stopped where you landed them. Ran great with a medium quick pace. Was not in any traps, but they looked to be in great shape. Very steep rake rate here now, so hard to justify for most, including me. But, It was in as good of shape as any of the high end Palm Springs courses. If you have the resources it is in stunning shape.

Played 9/10/23 12 pm $80 OP 3:45. I have driven by a few times and have noticed how lush the fairway's looked and begging me to come play on them. They were in the best shape that I have seen them in a long time. Mostly full coverage and green with only an occasional GIR mixed around. Not a lot of roll out, but they played fantastic. The greens were in just as good of shape. There were many greens with GIR spots along the fringes, But the remaining portions were in great shape. They were rolling well and very receptive. Hopefully they come out of the aeration in as good of shape or better. Tess were mostly a mess. Most are pretty beat up and was a little difficult to find a good spot to hit from. Was not in any traps, but are a mixed bag of hardpan to good. In a couple of weeks when greens heal and cooling temps, an easy recommend!

Played 8/13/23 9:15 POP 4:05 $78. The course was in over all good to great condition. Fairways lush. Not much roll out, but ball sat perfectly. A few "Dry" areas around, but caused no issues. Greens had full coverage. Receptive and putted fine, but were very slow and grainy. Putts up hill and into the grain were difficult to hit hard enough and once the ball slowed the grain of the turf would take over. Numerous putts took sharp turns right at the hole. You really had to putt with "authoritii". Traps were a little firm, but fine. Service as usual was perfect. Cool Towle at the turn and cart girl was by three times. High for the day was 106 at 4 pm. We were off the course at around 1:20 and it was just getting a little uncomfortable. If you can get out and done by noon-1 it's well worth the trip.

Played 7/3/23 3 pm POP 4.15 Course is firming up but still playing well. Fairways had very good coverage. On the tight & dry side with very good roll out, but they still played well. Greens were very firm. Hard to stop any shots and you really had to play for the roll out. They putted great with a medium quick pace. YOU CAN NOT short side your self here!!! Traps in great shape. Some of the tees are a little beat up. Over all in very good shape and a easy recommend.

Played 5/27/23 11:50 am POP 4.5 hrs. Course is in overall good shape. Fairways have mostly good coverage and mostly green. Good roll out and ball sat well. Starting to firm up and dry out a little, but still play very well.
Greens were in very good to great shape. Receptive with decent roll at medium pace. Typical Poana blooming can cause ball to wobble a little. A couple of ill spots mixed through out the greens, but will cause few issues. Traps firm and mixed. Tees typical. Some good, some not so good. Overall fun and in good shape. Easy recommend.

Played 5/20/23 Most fairways in decent to good shape with good coverage overall. Some troubled spots mixed through out. #10 fairway is mostly GIR. Greens were in good to very good shape. Receptive and ran around medium pace. Poana caused a few wobbles, but over all good roll. Was not in any traps, but they looked hardpacked. Pace of play was acceptable with a little bit of waiting on almost each hole.
Saw the cart girl twice. Easy recommend.

Played 5/6/23 10:45 Played with fellow GKers Fastfish433 & mpisarski01. Thanks for the invite. A beautiful day on the course. Wind picked up a little mid day which can make some of the back nine shots a little interesting. Fairways were green & cut a little on the tight side, but they played great. Greens were in great shape. Very fast. Never seem them that fast before. Took a few holes to get accustom to the speed. They rolled true and were receptive to well struck shots. Rough was green and lush, but caused little to no issues. Traps consistent and in great shape. Parking lot was full. When we teed off there was no one in front of us or behind. We cruised through the first 5 holes and then caught the groups in front of us at #6. From there on there was some minor waiting, but not to bad. Love their warm up/practice area. I wish I had gotten there a little earlier to take advantage. The course is in over all great shape and a easy recommend.

Played 4/23/23 Walked on as a single at around 3:20. Play was a little on the slow side and we just got the round in before dark. Course is in over all great shape. Fairways green, mostly lush and good coverage. Rough was a mix of thick and thin grass with an occasional bare spot mixed in. Greens were in great shape. Receptive and ran at a medium pace. The Poana is starting to bloom so the ball can wonder a touch. Traps in typical firm sand condition. Tees in decent shape. #2 tee still under repair, so only front portion is open and pretty beat up. Worth a trip out, easy recommend.

Played 4-2-23 A very beautiful resort course. Very lush and green as you would expext on a rainy island. Fairways very lush and well maintained. Ball sat pefectly and played fantastic except there was very little roll out. Almost all distance was gained through the air. Very wide and forgiving on almost evey hole. Rough was the same and only cut slightly higher.
Greens were in great shape. Looked fast and grainy (Palm Springs) but were extremly slow. Really hard to convince yourself how hard you had to hit even short putts. They rolled decent. Were receptive, but the balls seldom left any marks. Traps were in bad shape. Mostly because of all the rain they had recieved. Hard packed and many filled with water. A nice practice/warm up area with range, large chipping area and two putting greens. Beautiful scenery all around with 3 holes played right along the ocean. Layout is very nice, but simple. Except for the ocean views and 1 short par 4 hole against the lava flow, no real Wow hole designs. I caught a nice break in the weather mid day, but be prepared for wind and rain on any day of the year. Steep on the cost side, but a nice treat.

Played 1/7/23 12:30. Busy day but was able to get 18 in right before dark. Course has improved since last time. Fairways still thin and wet but played fairly well. Greens have improved a lot. Still some minor damaged areas, but seldom would caused any big issues. A little bumpy, receptive at a medium pace. Tees and traps are still the weakest points. Cart girl made a round. Over all in decent and playable shape.

Played 12/9/22 12:20. Finsihed last hole in the dark, but was able to finish behind some slooow play. Course difinitely has many rough areas. Fairways are cut tight, very firm and are dormant. They have dyed them green. Which creates a little deception. They look lush, but are very firm and dry requiring good ball striking. There are a couple of holes (4 & 13) where a seamingly great shot down the middle will lead to the ball far off in the rough after roll out.
Greens are a little bit of a mixed bag. Most of the greens have some small to medium sized damaged areas that they have sanded. The good parts were very good. Very firm, quick with decent roll. Problem can be if you have to putt accross any of the damaged areas. Normaly the greens here are super soft, receptive and on the slow side. Today they were the opposite. I've never seem them this firm and quick before. I would like to see them like this more often. The 18th green is back open after their fertilizer mishape and was in good shape. Traps firm and inconsistant. Tees were in very rough shape. Tees have alway's been the roughest and toughest part of this course to maintain. They are small and get a lot of iron play so they get beat up often & easily. Over all the course is in fair to good shape, but a little on the rough side. A little over priced for the current condtions, but still very playable and a fun day out in some beautiful scenery.
